essence "I love Nude" products review

Not that long ago I won a package from essence about which you can find out all the details here.

Long story short, they sent me a ton of things and I played with them right away LOL.

I decided to do 3 separate reviews, and today's one will be about 2 lipsticks, a lipgloss and 2 eyeshadows. Some of you asked for this review, so as always, I'll try to do my best and be as informative as I can about the things I buy because they look purrrty to me. :D

The packaging is made of hard plastic and when you close the lipstick you can hear a loud click, which should make you sure that the lipstick won't open magically on it's own LOL.

Their regular long lasting lipsticks are all black with a line in the middle that shows you the color of the lipstick. The Nude lipsticks are the opposite of that. On the bottom of the lipstick you have a sticker that also shows you the color of the lipstick as well the shade number and name.

You get 3,8g of product that should be used in 24 months.

There are 5 lipsticks shades in the "I love Nude" range, I got two of them and here they are. :)

01 swatched looks like a peachy pink sheer lipstick, I was honestly afraid to put this lipstick on because the thing that I feared the most about this lipstick happened. It looked like I put on a sheer pearly baby pink lip balm on, that's not a good thing if you ask me. Even though I did a lip scrub before, the application was rather uneven and it got into all the lines of my lips. I would never wear this lipstick on it's own. I haven't tried to combine it with anything else, but that's the only way I'll wear it. Too bad, I grabbed it right away when I got the package.

As soon as I saw this one I was like poopy brown lipstick. I'm not an expert, keep in mind that I'm only guessing, but to me it looks like this darker nude color had just a tad of purple in it? That's how it looks to me. They got the name right, this nude is fucking cool. I love how it looks on me and it's currently my favorite lipstick, highly recommend this one to you.

I have to say something else about these lipsticks. These lipsticks are so creamy and moisturizing, they feel more like a lip balm rather than a lipstick. They lasted 2-3 hours on my lips, which is not that long lasting, but it's enough for me.

01 looks like a light beige matte eyeshadow to me, or at least semi-matte eyeshadow, while 02 looks like a light pink slightly metallic eyeshadow. I like 01 as a lid color, while I like 02 as a inner corner color because of it's subtle reflective properties. I love these shadows and I've been using them every time I put makeup on my face. I really, really want the 6th shadow out of this line, coffee bean. I saw the swatch of that shadow on essence's instagram and I went crazy, freakin' pigmented.

Back to these two. :) Once again, they didn't lie on the back of the product. The texture of these eyeshadows is so silky and smooth, they last a long time on me with primer, and I have oily lids. I would recommend you to try at least one of these eyeshadows. :)

So far I'm loving the "I love Nude" products and if I had to pick a favorite out of this bunch, no doubt, "05 COOL NUDE" lipstick is what I would grab. I wouldn't recommend you the "01 WEARING ONLY A SMILE" lipstick unless you already have an idea for it, or you usually wear these kinds of lipstick shades, it's very tricky to rock these shade, at least for me. Oh and yes, I didn't want to include the prices of the products in other countries, I don't know for how much is essence sold in, idk, Germany or the USA. I just don't know that answer and I hope you won't mind that. :)

I like 05 and 03, I'm not that into really light lipsticks, but I always have someone to give them away to :D I like the lipsgloss, but I ain't gonna wear it LOL I just prefer lipsticks :D Thank you sweetie <3

All of these products look great, I'm particularly interested in the lipsticks and I don't even wear lipsticks :D Haha. Strange thing here is that I'm not seeing any of the new Essence products here in Holland, all the stores I have gone to just have an empty (mostly) make up stand! It makes me sad :( Thank you so much for the kind comment you left me :) xx

I won these in an essence raffle, I don't know how and where would I find them if I didn't win. I have a few new polishes at my Dm, but that's about it :/ I hope they'll arrive soon, I'd love to you swatching a lipstick :D You're welcome sweetie <3 :*
